Beckhoff Automation opened a new office in Austin, Texas, to increase the company’s presence in the Southwest. Beyond creating a collaborative workspace, the 3,500-square-foot facility will be used for hosting industry-specific application seminars, customer meetings, trainings and events.
Complementing the Beckhoff offices in Houston and Dallas, this third Texas facility creates a central site for the local sales and application engineering team to support the customer base.
The new Beckhoff office sits between the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and downtown Austin, 4 miles from each. This location is designed to provide accessibility to local culture for visitors from around Texas, the United States or the world. The office design and 9,000-square-foot central courtyard space are equipped for customer meetings and collaborative brainstorming.
“As a hotbed of innovation, Austin, Texas, is becoming one of Beckhoff USA’s fastest growing markets,” said Sixto Moralez, regional manager—south at Beckhoff Automation. “We’ve seen a five-year compound annual growth rate of about 15% largely due to the area’s focus on disruptive tech. Austin’s rising industries include everything from medical devices and lab automation to EV and battery production, with major activity in process automation and digital manufacturing. The innovators in these industries are embracing our breakthrough technologies, so the Austin office is a great addition to accelerate growth within the region.”
In addition to the expansion in Austin, Beckhoff is opening other new or relocated U.S. facilities in 2024 in Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta. Along with its U.S. headquarters in the Minneapolis area, Beckhoff maintains numerous regional offices in metropolitan areas across the United States.
